Are these good to replace hall lights in a home?

I am almost positive that you could not go wrong with this light bulb. It has a MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE color than the regular CFL bulbs and never gets hot. I would maybe get a higher power/wattage/brightness if you have slightly higher ceilings or just a singular light fixture though (just like some folks have mentioned before). If anything buy a few of these bulbs, see if they work, and if the do STOCK UP and if they don't you'll still have a few wonderful light bulbs for smaller lamps around the house. :) Happy shopping!

I put them in my hall and I like it. Originally I got them for my kitchen but they give a bright white rather than an amber warm color.

Sure, assuming you are replacing 40ish watt incandescents. If you have really high ceilings and/or fixtures with higher wattage bulbs you might want more light than these throw. And, like the others said, the 'warm white' is whiter than it is warm (4000-5000k).

I would say yes, they give a nice light, better than the rather yellow CFL versions. I would have said it was more like 50W rather than a 40W equivalent. A nice light
12373
I would though they give off about as much light as the 40w i replaced so you may need 2

If it is a single bulb fixture you may want to use the 9 or 12 watt version for a brighter hallway. Use the warm white not the cool white.

I would say yes....these are really decent lights.Now i got some phillips that are twice the price for use in the in the kitchen and the are a little more brilliant.These replaced 40 watt incandesent bulbs in a bathroom fixture,and they are just a tic less bright but i really dont notice it.

I certainly think so - I'd say they are about equivalent to a 90 watt bulb in brighteness, and produce light that is closer to daylight than incandescent... 4000K and 650 lumens. I'm using 2 in an L shaped hallway with 10' ceilings, and they are actually a bit too bright for the application.

I use them for accent light in my living room. I do not use them every time I am in the room but on special occasions. I used the same lights in a former home in the kitchen. I found the life of the batteries was not very good with continual use. So in short, yes, they will work find if you are willing to replace batteries.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing with them. I used them to replace the halogen bulbs in my low voltage yard lights. Lots of light and great light color. Hope that helps ..

As far as I know, the only reason this wouldn't be meant for indoors is because most indoor light sockets would be hooked up to a 120 volt system and these bulbs are 12 volts. Our light fixtures are 12 volts (we have solar power in our house) and we use these lights indoors. As long as whatever you're plugging them into is also 12 volts it shouldn't be a problem.

They are budget soft boxes, let us be clear on that. One of my first adjustments was adding 1 100w incandescent bulb to the mix for color balance. And that works fine. So my assumption is that you can replace the bulbs with whatever you feel like so long as your circuit can handle it.

I use them in my lights at my home and I also make lights and I use them so I would say yes.

I use these inside with my recessed pot lights in my kitchen and living room. They should be the same.

I would, because they fit my needs for the moment. What are your needs? If you are looking for un-expensive basic soft lights, that do the job. Then you should buy them, if they are not what you are looking for, return them.

I had no real issues installing them, they went pretty easily into Halo cans, plenty bright and depending on application I would suggest a good dimmer. I run them nearly all the time at the lowest setting in living room and a hallway

Should work OK--they can be direct wired to a switched line, or wired to a plug. The light should be sufficient to light the counter top, but might be a bit too bright (we have them mounted under cabinets that are 18" above the countertop, but low enough so you don't look up into the fixture.

If you mean by household style....incandescent, I would say, yes, the LED's would be a better choice. But, remember, in the case of an EMP, the micro-electronics in the LED will likely be fried while the incandescent will survive. The former is also true of the fluorescents.

Yes but they would be VERY dim. Night light replacements.Odd coincidence, because I just put in candelabra to medium base adapters in my overhead fan so I could get MORE light.

I believe these lights are for interiors only. Maybe your local electrical/building inspector could tell you. I am just not sure if that would be up to code.

These are LED's, they are non-replaceable. Their lifespan would possibly outlast your home and they also use much less energy. The LED's featured are really bright. This model provides 3 settings of brightness that can be set via remote.

I installed one bulb in a lamp and the light is easily the equivalent of a 100 watt regular bulb. I would use 3 in a dark hall as long as the fixture(s) is not over 10 feet high. They are great and so is the price.

I just did it and it worked fine, so yes they can be. But they are wall mounted so I.m not sure about them being the only light in the room, they can be bent a small amount to give the bulb more light but I wouldn't use it as the only light source.
